Climate change a myth; yourLETTERS.

Greenland''s ice sheet may be melting away - but are any climate problems purely man-made?

WHEN politicians need to distract us from their misdeeds, they are guaranteed to ask their tame "scientists" to release another scare on the discredited myth of man-made climate change.

The Met Office recently released figures from their latest myth-making models suggesting temperature rises of up to 2.5 degrees in the next 40 years. They claim sea levels will rise 8 inches. Since the last Ice Age retreated, seas have risen 400 feet. What caused that? The fact is that carbon dioxide-driven warming was only a theory which has now been solidly debunked by Mother Nature. The IPCC has told us for decades that as carbon dioxide levels rose, so temperatures would rise in lock-step. No doubt in their minds at all. Dissenters were ridiculed.

NOAA''s TIROS-N polar-orbiting satellites have recorded global to 150 temperatures for decades and show that, despite the continuing slow rise in carbon dioxide, there has been no net warming since 1995 and we are now cooling. Not one IPCC model suggested that; they are all proven wrong. It would be easy ridicule politicians who repeat their scaremongering nonsense but the damage their policies will do to our well-being and our economy is truly horrendous.

Extreme environmentalism has so run amok that politicians now tell us that driving our cars, using our heating or taking a flight poses a greater threat than terrorism. The Welsh Assembly Government call for greater law-making powers! If the wisdom they apply to that is on a par with the wisdom shown in their: "we can control the weather" claims, then giving them more power would be like giving an unstable person a machine gun.
